Tag

Rebecca of Sewing in the Past tagged me. Thank you, Rebecca! =) I'm supposed to answer her eight questions. Then write my own set of eight questions for eight bloggers to answer. Sounds fun.  


1. what time period would you travel back to? (why?)


Umm. Probably the 1940s. I love the clothing, cars, movies, well, everything. I think it would be interesting to be a girl during WWII. 
 
2. what five things make you extremely happy?


Jesus. Family. Sewing. Traveling. Food. 

3. you find out your great-uncle twice removed on your mother's side died and left you something huge. you arrive and you discover it is a roll-down desk. what is your reaction? 


WOW! I can be a newswoman like in My Girl Friday. Or try to solve a mystery like in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show.   

4. have you ever met a celebrity? been somewhere famous? 


Depends on what kind of celebrity you mean. In the Hollywood & music world. No. But, I have met authors - Jasmine Baucham & the Botkin Sisters. In the sewing world - Jennie Chancey & the Long Ladies.  

5. your favorite recipe, please?


My chocolate chip cookie recipe. 

6. what's an obscure movie that nobody has probably ever seen that you really like...?

Don't really know. Oh, maybe the 1940 Pride & Prejudice! That is like one of my favorite versions of P&P. 

7. something you want really, extremely, exceedingly, terribly bad.



A trip to Europe. 

8. a dream that you wish to come true...occur...? (not necessarily a "nighttime" dream...like a "daydream" dream)


To have a bedroom up in an attic. I can see the room all pictured in my mind - it is so pretty. =)


*****************************************************************************************
My eight random questions -


1. What is your favorite book, besides the Bible? And why is it your favorite?
2. If you could live any where in the world for a month, where would it be? 
3. What is a weird food combination that you enjoy eating? 
4. If you could receive/sew any movie costume in the world, what would it be? 
5. If you could own any painting in the world, which one would it be?
6. What is your biggest fear?
7. Are you a morning or night person?
8. What is your favorite time of the year?   


*****************************************************************************************
Now the eight random bloggers I will tag to answer my random questions - 


1. Lindsay @ Content in Christ 
2. KatySue @ Not All Who Wander Are Lost 
3. Bess @ Bess' Bag
4. Rebecca @ Singing In His Name 
5. Marie @ Marie Loves
6. Heather @ Heather's Blog-O-Rama
7. Polka Dot @ Life is Too Short Not to Wear Red Shoes

Shabby Apple's Dare to Design Contest - 1960s inspired dress

I was so excited that Shabby Apple was doing their Dare to Design contest again this year! I didn't have a chance last year, so I'm excited to join in the fun this year.

My dress design for Shabby Apple dresses is inspired by the early 1960s. It features a full pleated skirt {which falls just-below-the-knee}, cummerbund around the waist, slight scoop neckline, invisible zipper up the back, and short cap sleeves.

I think this dress would look lovely made up in light teal cotton with the cummerbund made up in a polka-dotted fabric of the same color. Or, in red cotton with a white and red polka-dot cummerbund. Then again, blue cotton with a blue and white polka-dot cummerbund would look charming.  Of course, any spring time color would be great for this amazing dress!
